description
<p> Thousands of feet off the ground, the Second Sea stretches across the horizon. Schools of fish cast dark shadows and the murmurs of whales echo off the ground below. In this mantle of water floats the moon, the sun, and the souls of everyone who once lived wrapped together into a single organism. Gele of Melaopel, a disgraced dancer, knows the ghostly reef above is watching him as he flees from his home island of Galu. When Gele joins the souls in the Second Sea, will he be met with shame? Will that matter compared to the threats from the ocean at his feet? Nearly drowning during his escape, he comes face to face with sea monsters and strange spirits. On death's door, Gele forges a bond with the phantom Sawyer Jean, a pirate queen from a continent across the world. She carries her own sins, a bloody past enwrapped with dark rituals. But evil deeds taught her that more than spirits watch from the Second Sea... </p> <p> Second Sea is an epic fantasy story inspired by Earthsea (Ursula K. Le Guin), Imaro (Charles Saunders), Childhood's End (Arthur C. Clarke), and A Song of Ice and Fire (George R.R. Martin), aiming to build a fantastical but grounded setting populated with characters who must tread carefully or else fall victim to the realities of a world filled with monsters and ghosts. </p> <p> </p> <p> New chapters every Friday. </p> <p> Cover art by @totomonii </p>
